Correct Answer: 225
Solution : The first 15 odd numbers are: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27 and 29 Total number of terms: 15 Applying the formula: Sum(S) = $\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n–1)d]$ Where, $n$ = number or terms $a$ = 1st term $d$ = difference between two terms So, the sum = $\frac{15}{2}[2×1+(15–1)2]$ = $\frac{15}{2}[2+(14×2)]$ = $\frac{15}{2}×30$ = 15 × 15 = 225 Hence, the correct answer is 225.
